Why the need for Family Connection?
“I wouldn’t change you for the world, but I would change the world for you!”
-- A Parent

Every day, parents of children with disabilities and chronic health conditions face struggles most of us cannot imagine. The pandemic increased these challenges for our families and requests for our services are at an all-time high.

Your investment in our work will help connect more families throughout our state with the resources and services they need to help their children lead rich, full lives with bright futures!
